To install the Apidog MCP Server, users need Node.js (version 18 or higher) and an IDE that supports MCP. The installation involves generating an access token in Apidog, obtaining the project ID, and configuring the IDE with a JSON configuration file. Important considerations include replacing placeholders with personal tokens and project IDs, naming the MCP Server appropriately, and managing access tokens securely. The server also supports reading Swagger or OpenAPI Specification files directly. Users are encouraged to provide feedback as the server is currently in beta.
